lyrics

Light moves through my head
I endure burning
Shadows will betray you
How could they not?
I see nine mourners
Sockets of silver
Pushing up daisies
And chasing moths
I replenish myself
With youthful lusting
I replenish myself
I’m not nothing
I swear I’ll do anything for love
But is my heart still here?
‘Cause I can’t tell
Parting at the corner,
The fire and the ruin
Sound moves so slowly
Inside the veil
The forms they may alter
The years will fall away
One day, one day
Everything will break
So I replenish myself
With youthful lusting
I replenish myself
I’m not nothing
I swear I’ll do anything for love
But is my heart still here?
‘Cause I can’t tell
If this is my last song, let it be long
I replenish myself
With youthful lusting
I replenish myself
I’m not nothing
I swear I’ll do anything for love
But is my heart still here?
Well is my heart still here?
I’m still burning
(The candle flares at both ends
Light cuts through the darkness
That all-consuming, limitless Nothing
Beckoning me closer and closer still
I tighten my grip on my only defense
This flame, this love of love, my will to live
I’ve transmuted anger, I’ve outdone myself
Spat out the wombs of our mothers
We fight our way through existence
We fuck ourselves into oblivion
We turn and face the night
That’s where we find the light)
